Hospice was a nightmare.my father went yesterday they pinned him down to bed shaved him cut hair stripped him and nurse came out and said he was agitated so they gave him Ativan which they already gave him at hospital and almost killed him we had to take him back to hospital .he is there now not doing good.have to take him to another hospice I think.i have got to be honest folks this will never happen to me .I will not allow it I will work hard at maintaining my level but I will not allow my quality of life to go to this level.today will be another nightmare.i am now testing my breathing all the time took me a long time to stop doing that but I'm doing it again even though for the most part I'm fine.fear is now ruling me again.its not all about me here my dad is always on my mind but I just have to get this out.i have never been one not to say what I feel.thanks for helping me I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.i will let you know when my dad is gone.

Sorry that this is happening to you. My Father in law went through the same sort of thing a few years ago . It's horrendous and I give you my sympathy if that's the right word.

God bless you all. X
